Lost a load of ETH following 'expert' signals in a Telegram group – any hope for recovery?
I'm really hitting rock bottom here. I joined this Telegram group last month, 'Pro Crypto Signals FX' or something, thought it was legit. The admin, 'CryptoKing_Vip', seemed to know his stuff, posting screenshots of huge gains and saying join our VIP channel for signals. I paid a subscription, then started getting these 'signals' which sent me to this unregulated broker platform. They said my ETH would be locked in for trades, and I saw paper gains on their dashboard. I put in about 4 ETH, which is like, half my savings. Then when I tried to withdraw, they started demanding all these 'tax' and 'compliance' fees, saying I wouldn't get my money back otherwise. I sent a little more hoping to unlock it, but still nothing. Now the admin has blocked me, and the broker site is down. I feel so stupid. Has anyone actually recovered anything from these types of Telegram signal group scams? Or is i just gotta accept it's gone?
